November issue of the SPARC Open Access Newsletter



* Announcement (cross-posted) *

I just mailed the November issue of the SPARC Open Access Newsletter. This issue reviews the eleven (count 'em) open-access mandates adopted or proposed in October and takes an opening reconnaissance into the largely unexplored territory of no-fee OA journals. The Top Stories section takes a brief look at the Citizendium project, the continuing division within the American Anthropological Association over OA and FRPAA, the new NESLi2 model license that allows self-archiving, the new JISC-SURF model license that lets authors retain key rights, and Google Custom Search. I'm continuing the Round-up experiment for another month, briefly recapitulating the OA developments from the past month not covered in the other stories.
